Notice of Intent for Lenel OnGuard version 8.0 Access Control System

Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers intends to require, on a sole source basis, purchase, and installation of Lenel OnGuard version 8.0 Access Control System components for the construction of the Vandenberg Gate Complex, Entry Control Facility project at Hanscom Air Force Base in Lincoln, Massachusetts.

Hanscom AFB has instituted a base-wide standard for access control systems (ACS). The base standard is Lenel OnGuard version 8.0. A base-wide standard for access control systems allows base security forces to operate and maintain one system. LenelS2 solutions provide end-to-end encryption using the latest standards. They also support third-party multi-factor authentication in addition to smart credentials, biometrics, mobile and pin reader technologies. ACS systems from different manufacturers are not compatible with each other. Having a base-wide standard provides base security by having security credentials (CAC cards) only programmed into one system and monitoring of alarms only in a single system.

There are other ACS manufacturers that can be used. However, if a different ACS system were to be used it would limit the ability of security forces to monitor, operate, and maintain the new systems. Lenel OnGuard version 8.0 Access Control System offer security solutions that meet a variety of US Federal Government compliance needs and meet FICAM requirements including: FIPS 201, HSPD-12, ICD705 and UL2050.
